Medley on Growing Up

We're off to Never-Never Land
How the hell did I get here so fast? I don't wanna grow up
I'm too young for growing up just yet
If growing up means it would be beneath my dignity to climb a tree, I'll never grow up
The whole town wants to know when I'm gonna grow up, but you know I never will
What's my age again?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
Can the child within my heart rise above?

Medley on Longing

I kinda wanna be more than friends
Hold me closer tiny dancer
Uh-oh, I want some more
If you have a minute why don't we go
Uh-oh, what are you waiting for?
Tell me your secrets
Somewhere only we know
Will you still love me tomorrow?
Tell me when you're gonna let me in
Take me, baby, or leave me
Nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
Take my photo off the wall if it just won't sing for you
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
Oh take me back to the start

Medley on a Fight

They say time heals everything, but I'm still waiting.
But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to and my eyes, they don't see you no more.
Forgive, sounds good. Forget, I'm not sure I could.
I check my face, I look a little bit older. I look a little bit colder. One deep breath. One more step. I move a little bit closer.
I'm mad as hell I can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should.
It's more than I can stand.
I'm through with doubt. There's nothing left for me to figure out.
It's too late to make it right. I probably wouldn't if I could.
I know if destiny's kind I've got the rest of my mind.
Why does my heart cry feelings I can't fight?
How can the words that I've said send somebody so over the edge?
Please, believe me when I say I love you.
I've paid a price, and I'll keep paying.
And my lips, they don't kiss the way they used to and my eyes don't recognize you no more.
I'm not ready to make nice, I'm not ready to back down. I'm still mad as hell and I don't have time to go round and round and round.
For reasons unknown.

Feliz Cinco de Mayo!

First, a little history lesson. For those of you who believe that Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican independence day, you are wrong. The Mexican Independence Day is on September 16th. Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of the Mexican troops beating French invaders at the battle of Puebla. This was an notable defeat since the Mexican army was outnumbered by the French who had twice their size. The French were also far better equipped and hadn't been defeated in about fifty years. This was also significant because no country in the Americas had previously been invaded, and the Mexican army was still able to overcome.

So why is it that Cinco de Mayo has been more widely celebrated in America than Mexico? During around the same time, the US Civil War was coming to a close and troops were coming to Mexico's aid. I don't presume this is the sole reason why America celebrates this holiday, but it certainly plays some role.

Some interesting celebrations for Cinco de Mayo include skydiving in Vancouver, air guitar competition in the Cayman Islands, and drinking Mexican beer in Malta. So make some delicious Mexican meals, watch a film by Bunuel, go skydiving! Have an absolutely fantastically festive Cinco de Mayo!
